Apologize? Michelle Malkin would never apologize for her actions in stalkin' and harassing opposition targets. Since the Graeme Frost situation was not the first time Malkin posted the personal infomation of her targets to her blog, Sadly No at this point refers to her as Stalkin' Malkin.

While Roland Soong has been a prominent, and pretty damn irrational, critic of the foreign media's coverage of China, he's erased his role in the stalking of an American Tibetan from the internet.

UPDATE: 17 April 2008 10:45am
I was wrong that he erased his role in the stalking of an innocent American Tibetan. You just have to scroll down a bit to find his information and his justification for posting the personal information.

[Question: Should the information about Lobsang Gendun be published here? This is the same as asking whether one wants to bury one's head in the sand. Go to either Google or Baidu, type in "Lobsang Gendun" and this information will pop up anyway. The purpose of this post is not to communicate the information per se. Rather, this is an illustration of power of the human flesh search engines of China. For a similar story, see Fallout from the Free Tibet protests by John Kennedy, Global Voices Online.]

[Question: There is still a doubt about whether Lobsang Gendun is the person who grabbed Jin Jing, since the search process does not explain how he was identified in the first place. Once there was a name, the other information flows naturally (Salt Lake Tribune -> O.C. Tanner -> Salt Lake City -> Utah Tibetan Association to get telephone number -> Reverse telephone directory look-up to get address -> Google Maps/Earth -> physical reconnaissance to find a Toyota Corolla and a modified Dodge Neon parked outside the house, etc). But how did the name come up initially? The London police arrest record?]

Furthermore, Richard at the Peking Panda refers to this post by stating, "his coverage of this topic has been quite excellent. Be sure to check his detailed post on the "conspiracy theory," one of his very best." *gag* I'm glad that I'm no longer on his blogroll, if this is his attitude and that I no longer recommend my readers to bother with it.

END UPDATE

UPDATE 2: 12:20pm
The Peking Panda updates his post to point to a different section of the same page, after someone points out that I'm right about his link going to ESWN's post with the address and phone number. Do I get apology? No more than ESWN is handing out apologies or the English-language Greater China blogosphere is actively condemning ESWN for promoting stalkin' an innocent man. And even if he hadn't been the wrong guy, the stalkin' of posting the man's phone number, address, and photos of his house is bullshit.
END UPDATE2

UPDATE 3: 12:57pm
Boing Boing links approvingly to ESWN's posting of the personal information. OMG! WTF is wrong with these people? Do you guys have a moral vacuum between your fuckin' ears?
END UPDATE3

He's posted a link to an article from KSL in Salt Lake City and COPIED THE 5 PARAGRAPH ARTICLE IN FULL to his site. (can you say copyright violation?).

Of course there is no sign nor apology for Roland Soong's role in the phone harassment, as most regular readers of his know that he posted this man's phone number at his blog. Foreign media apparently has to issue apologies and corrections for their "alleged" mistakes (most of which aren't even mistakes), but Roland doesn't hold himself to that standard. Maybe ESWN just expects that he can avoid legal troubles for helping to promote stalking and harassment of an innocent man by erasing traces of his misdeeds.

As for folks who are regular promoters of Sadly No and critics of the actions of Stalkin' Malkin and the Freepers? If you're a friend of Roland, it's a wink and a nudge. Friends don't criticise friends for doing the same vile things as their arch-nemesis does. Personally we're interested in starting a pool to see when the first Philip A. Cunningham post goes up at the Peking Panda.
